A is for Aden and Z is for Zanzabar

A is for Aden and Z is for Zanzibar... Now what is between? For the world wide classical era philatelist and stamp collector, a country specific philatelic survey is offered by the blog author, Jim Jackson, with two albums: Big Blue, aka Scott International Part 1 (checklists available), and Deep Blue, aka William Steiner's Stamp Album Web PDF pages. In addition, "Bud" offers commentary and a look at his completely filled Big Blue. Interested? So into the Blues...

Conclusion: Commoners and rats are under represented on classic
era Falkland Islands stamps.

Album census: 37 in BB spaces, 10 tip-ins.

Jim's ObservationsReally, quite interesting issues, although the color varieties of the Victorians are challenging indeed. The 1933 Falkland islands twelve stamp pictorials probably rank as one of the all time great British colonial stamp issues. Unfortunately, besides the first two ( the 1/2p & 1p), the next six are generally in the $20-$50 category, and then goes up from there.
